In my dreams I see myself hitting a baseball In a a green field somewhere near a freeway I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base And it's hot and The kids keep playing the driving game And they're singing the same goddamn refrain And the sky is a blueish grey. And its become just like a chemical strice Tracing the lines in my face for Something more beautiful than is there I've barely been gone.

In my dreams I see you at the foot of some mountains. And we're taking some pictures or something And we'd better hurry up And it's late and The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans And we'd better hurry up And I've become just like a terrible mess Searching the lines in my face for Something more beautiful than is there The crowds keep me coming back. Cheering.

In my dreams I see you asleep on a twin bed The covers pulled up over your head And I asleep or awake? And it's morning And the captain is playing the radio And he's just put the paint on his new boat Am I asleep or awake?

And it just feels good when you're waking up And it just feels good when you're next to me And it just feels good when you're coming home And it just feels good when you're waking up

And I've become just like a chemical strice Tracing the lines of my face for Something more beautiful than is there I've barely been gone and I'm not a failure I swear I wish you could see it from over there I've got a lot over here without you I've barely been gone gone dreaming
